Florida Notary Starter Kit: Requirements, Fees, ID Rules, Remote Notarization and Startup Checklist
Florida's path is short: a 3-hour course, a $39 state fee and a $7,500 bond. Online notaries add a $25,000 bond, E&O insurance and 10-year records. This kit covers both.

Browse the storeWho it is for
Floridians applying for a commission through a bonding agency, and Florida notaries registering as online notaries.
Not the right fit if
You aren't applying in Florida, or you haven't done the 3-hour course: the Department of State's free online course covers it, and this kit doesn't replace it.
Why it is different
- Fees and rules come from the Governor's Notary Section and the Florida Department of State, named under each table.
- Covers online notary registration: $25,000 bond, at least $25,000 of E&O insurance and 10-year records.
- Notes the s. 117.01 fee waiver for veterans with wartime service and a disability rating of 50% or more.
What is inside
- 3-hour course and $39 application. Who qualifies in Florida, the required course and how the application goes through a bonding agency.
- $7,500 bond, $10 fees, ID and seal. Florida's bond, the $10 per-act cap, the accepted ID list and seal rules, with sources.
- Online notary registration and advertising. The $25,000 bond, E&O insurance and 10-year record rules for online notaries, plus Florida's advertising notice.
- Florida commission checklist. From the free 3-hour course to choosing a bonding agency, the commission and your first appointment, notarizing only while you're in Florida.
- Florida startup budget. Only the $39 is fixed by law; compare bonding agency packages for the bond, seal and journal on the blank lines.
- Florida journal pages. Printable record pages built around what Florida asks notaries to log.

Is this legal or tax advice?
General information from official Florida sources, not legal advice.
Can I get a Florida commission without a bonding agency?
Florida applications go through approved bonding agencies, which supply the application, pay the $39 state fee, write the $7,500 bond and provide the seal. You choose the agency, so compare their packages.
